Demelza Carne, the underprivileged miner's daughter Ross Poldark saved from a fairground rabble, is now his spouse. But the ensuing events of the turbulent years after their wedding put their marriage and love to test. Demelza's earnest attempts to acclimatise to the ways of the aristocracy and her husband lead her to utter confusion and distress, in spite of her joy in the birth of their first child. Ross continues on his nasty fight for the privileges of the mining societies and plants the seed of a lasting hatred with the powerful George Warleggan.

Poldark is now adapted as a major BBC series.
